MATSUURA H.PLUS-500 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Matsuura H.PLUS-500 is a four-axis horizontal machining center designed for high-productivity industrial applications. This CNC machine features a BT50 spindle taper with a maximum spindle speed of 12,000 RPM, upgradeable to 15,000 RPM, delivering enhanced cutting performance for demanding machining tasks. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 1,650 pounds on its 19.68" × 19.68" working surface, with rapid traverse rates reaching 2,362 inches per minute across all three linear axes (X, Y, and Z), each providing 31.49 inches of travel. The integrated automatic tool changer holds up to 60 tools in the standard configuration, expandable to 245 tools for complex production runs, enabling extended unattended machining cycles. The machine operates on a two-pallet system, upgradeable to six pallets, optimizing workflow efficiency in production environments. Equipped with Matsuura's G-Tech CNC control system and direct-drive rotary table technology, the H.PLUS-500 delivers superior positioning accuracy and repeatability. Advanced features include thermal displacement compensation for maintained accuracy throughout extended operations and compatibility with FASTEMS automation systems for seamless integration into flexible manufacturing environments. The machine's robust design, supported by major cast iron components comprising 40% of total weight, ensures rigidity and vibration dampening for superior surface finishes. This horizontal configuration makes it ideal for high-volume production of complex parts in aerospace, automotive, and general industrial machining sectors.
